I contacted fivealive the same day I started this thread. I offered to buy or coordinate the buying of the contents of K-jet.org. I haven't gotten any response. I don't know what his motivations are, but I'd be willing to chip in money as well. Blocking the site from the Internet Archive doesn't seem to me like a sign of good intentions.

I'm in for $100.00. Worth every penny for all the time it has saved me.

Also, between everyone on this board, the collection of downloaded green
books MUST be present almost in full, at least for 200/700/900 cars, if not
more. So, how about a thread dedicated to weeding out these files in a
distributed fashion. I know I at least have a few pertinent ones on one of
my machines. I'd have to look for them, but I bet everyone has a few, and
although the overlap will be sizable, the full set should be close to complete
for all intents and purposes.

As for the rest of the non-download content from the site (text), google's
cache has it for now, so if you care, grab it from there before it fades out
forever and we all miss out on this piece of community history.

A Bruce here. I run ozvolvo.org, the Australian Volvo forums. I'm going to re-host everything I can get hold of under an archive project off the back of Oz Volvo (free for all, in perpetuity) as well as making things available via torrent.

If you have Greenbooks, brochures, or any other technical documentation, please dump them here:

That's what we get for talking bad about WWD bolbos.

But seriously, thankful he hosted it for so long. Hopefully we can get all that info back up somewhere. Thanks to jamesinc for offering to help.

That's what simple checksums are for May I recommend distributing in a Git repo? Maybe some hashed source ID in each commit? That way it can be reliably and verifiable distributed with epic redundancy.

Happy to include whatever you can provide. I've got about 700 documents at the moment, or 9.6GB of data. That's after de-duplicating everything. We're just working out the details of hosting and organising it all.

Some people have their own reasons to justify their actions, If it was worth his time and personal justification to let us know, i imagine he would have knowing the value he granted to us all. But if someone doesnt want to let it be known, there isnt anything we can do but move on and start over.

Sad to see that site go. Does anyone know where else one can find specs on factory cams formatted the way he had them? I know TB has some specs on the front page, but not all the niggly numbers are there.

It would be great to get all this stuff in a torrent at some point, then it's far more difficult for anyone to take down. If I had my way it would all be public domain by now, the cars it supports are deprecated, and we should have a right to access all pertinent service information.

Yeah, I can make them available pretty soon as a flat archive of downloads. We have been trying to make the entire collection fully searchable, but I think the computing power required to do that is too expensive to maintain, so for now it'll just be download links. There's just over 1000 items in total.

Basically I just need to dump it into an S3 bucket and make a front-end to serve it all.
